HiFiBerryOS

HiFiBerryOS

HiFiBerryOS is is our version of a minimal Linux distribution optimised for audio playback. The goal isn’t to add as much functionality as possible, but focus on music. We don’t think, you should have to deal with sample rates or file format, but focus on what’s really important: listening to music.

Services

The following services are available:

Airplay

Analoge input of the DAC+ ADC

Bluetooth (not on Raspberry Pi 3B)

DLNA

Logitech Media Server / Squeezebox

MPD (unused at the moment)

Snapcast (experimental)

Spotify

Roon

Web radio stations

DSP support

HiFiBerryOS comes with support for HiFiBerry DSP boards including a filter/crossover designer.

Platforms

While we really like the Raspberry Pi Zero, its CPU doesn’t provide the speed and features needed for some of the services we’ve implemented. Therefore, the Raspberry Pi Zero version comes only with Airplay and Bluetooth support. If you’re looking for a small and inexpensive boards that supports the full set of features, you should use the Raspberry Pi 3A+.
